Camera Gear for Sale September 2015

Blowout Sale to Make Money for Demanding Habit…

No, I am not a junkie or alcoholic, but I am a drone pilot and that costs money.

I need to raise £2000 tout suite (to fund my growing aerial video obsession business, so I am having a major clear out.

Not only that, I have recently moved to new offices and during the move, I realised just how much gear I have that I don’t use that much any more.

Even though all this is quite cathartic, it still wrenches a little because anyone that knows me, knows I love my gadgets and camera gear.

All of these items are for sale at the price stated (which is fairly low as I want to sell these quickly)…prices don’t include postage which we can work out once bought but you can probably “guestimate” yourself.

If you want more information or images of any item, please let me know but I have been very honest and up front in my descriptions.

On the whole, I am known for really looking after my equipment (something my kids could learn from ; ) so it has all been used, cleaned and stored lovingly from new.

If you are interested in any of these items, please contact me through this site or call me on 07518 359223.

The first item wrenches the most, I love my 5D Mark II’s as they have served me well over the years. I have another though which I have vowed never to sell because I love the simplicity and image quality so much.

Sony HDR SR1 Video Camera (very good condition, two marks on touch screen where main menus are accessed otherwise works and looks great)

Sony directional hot-shoe microphone (excellent condition)

Sony Bluetooth microphone (cool mic, excellent condition)

Sony wide angle conversion lens (excellent condition).

Underwater Housing for HDR SR1 (boxed, mint – cost £800) – £250 for super quick sale. Excellent condition and is for the Sony HDR SR1 camera. Cost £800 new and has only been used a few times. The footage taken underwater has sold on stock sites a number of times…

This can be used for any number of shooting environments, not just underwater. Boating, filming jet-skis, snorkelling, shooting in the rain etc…

Ewa Marine U-BXP 100 Housing for most DSLR’s – Canon EOS 1D, 1Ds Series as well as the Nikon D300, D800, D3, D4 and Canon 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, EOS 1DX and similar cameras, with most of the professional wide angle lenses currently on the market(in original bag – cost £330) – £150 for quick sale. This will fit most Canon EOS DSLR’s with a speedlight on but I used it with the 5D Mark II on many occasions (with flash too). I have sold a lot of stock photos using this housing but I don’t get in the sea much these days. Great for rainy shoots, swimming pools, snorkeling or diving. Will go to 50 metres or 150 feet underwater.

A Ewa-Marine U-BXP100 was used to protect the Canon 5D Mark III for all the underwater shots seen in this video…
